Casa de José de Alencar, Historic site and museum in Messejana, Fortaleza, Brazil.
The Casa de José de Alencar features three rooms constructed from stone and lime, with primitive woodwork from carnaúba trees in colonial architectural style.
The property started functioning as a residence in 1826 when José Martiniano de Alencar purchased it, becoming the birthplace of writer José de Alencar in 1829.
The museum exhibits preserve the legacy of José de Alencar, displaying artifacts and documents related to his contributions to Brazilian literature through works like Iracema.
Located at Avenida Washington Soares 6055, the museum welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Saturdays until noon.
The original structure belonged to a larger estate that included a sugar mill, with parts of its woodwork later replaced using pau d'arco and massaranduba wood.
